The sims in South are owned by a different estate then the majority of sims, named IGBC. There are 3 sims in South: Friends, Navan and Gay Zone Germany. The work Gay also appears in the name of another sim, in the center of the continent. This continent might be created for LGBT people.
On May 2014, the continent has incresed its size with new sims in South East.

Waterway Efficiency Index is 8.570. Still, it could be much higher, since no ban lines and entity orbs have been detected.
Total efficiency index is 8.719.

Sexual Minorities in Second Life
Mar Lesbiana is the newest continent. It raised from Microcontinent status to Continent in late November 2013. Since IGBC Continent hosts Gay-named sims and nearby is GAY Microcontinent and now there is a Lesbian continent, it can be claimed that there is a somewhat sizable LGBT community within Second Life.
